Anna Eliot is tired of worrying about what other people think. After all, that was how she lost the only guy she ever really liked, Finn Westbrook.

Now, three years after she broke his heart, the one who got away is back in her life.

All Anna wants is a chance to relive their last kiss again (and again and again). But Finn obviously hasn’t forgotten how she treated him, and he’s made it clear he has no interest in having anything to do with her.

Anna keeps trying to persuade herself that she doesn’t care about Finn either, but even though they’ve both changed since they first met, deep down she knows he’s the guy for her. Now if only she can get him to believe that, too....

This was an ok novel for me, but not anything special. The story was mostly dialogue between the characters and it lacked excitement and action. The only event so far note worthy happening was the music event they all went too and then all the talking started again.

Anna was an okay character, but I really wished that she had a bit more of a backbone. She couldn’t possibly admit something that made her slightly different from her friends, even when it was something important to her, which really annoyed me.
Finn was also an okay character, but I really wished he’d just get over himself, and forgive Anna. Okay, what she did wasn’t very nice, but if he really liked her he should have stopped trying to punish her and started trying to find a way to be together..
If you are looking for a new original YA novel with a good plot, I wouldn't recommend The Last Best Kiss.
